The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for our stretch of coast here at Hof-Maravi. Let me be straight with you – this is one of those outlooks where I wish I had better news. The 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for anything that’ll get your heart racing. We’ve got a long gap of nothing worth paddling out for, stretching from now right through most of the period.
The first real glimmer doesn’t show up until Sunday, 16th August, and even then it’s barely a whisper. The water temperature is sitting at 30°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath, but not in a good way.
Let’s talk about Sunday morning, 16th August. The swell is tiny, only about 3ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 103 – that’s the highest we’ll see in the whole run, but it’s still barely enough to get a wave face. The wind is glassy, which is a real positive – clean conditions make the most of what little there is. But with a 2/5 rating and “poor surf conditions” flagged for most of the day, it’s really just a chance to wet your wetsuit. Hof-Maravi is a beach/jetty setup, very consistent for beginners, but this swell is too weak for any real punch. The optimum swell direction is SW, and we’re getting WNW, so it’s not working well.
The rest of the 16 days? More of the same. Monday 17th through to Wednesday 26th August – it’s all tiny, weak swells, mostly 1ft to 3ft, with periods hanging around 5 to 8 seconds. The combined energy stays below 100 most of the time, meaning there’s just no power in the water. Winds are mostly cross-on or onshore, chopping up what little shape there is. There are a few glassy mornings – like Wednesday 19th August morning, Thursday 20th August morning, and Tuesday 25th August morning – where you could get a clean but gutless 2ft wave. Nothing to write home about.
Honestly, if you’re a beginner just wanting to sit on a board and feel the rhythm, a glassy morning with 2ft might be a meditative session. For anyone else, this is a no-go. The whole setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the consistent cross-onshore winds and weak swell.
Hang in there – this area tends not to stay this flat for long, but this run is a real blank.

A general guide to surfing at Hof Maravi can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Hof Maravi may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
